Approve Medical Marijuana
Reader comment on: A Medical Marijuana Law Gains Momentum in Albany

Submitted by Jeff Elton, Jun 12, 2007 07:23

The sooner the entire United States legalizes medical marijuana and recreational use of it the better our country and it's citizens will be. The thought that using marijuana in a medical fashion sends the "WRONG" single to our youth, if you followed that line of thinking then all opiates and cocaine should also be made illegal or our youth might get the idea that because these drugs are freely prescribed and used in a medical fashion they are ok to use recreational. The danger our government fears is that even the opposers of medical marijuana will find out that marijuana is not harmful but very helpful in living and enjoying the gift of life God has given us along with all other creatures and plants.
